(January 12, 2009)—Classes at Lockney High School about 60 miles northeast of Lubbock were cancelled Monday after fire destroyed the school overnight.
Investigators are looking for the cause of the fire.
Nobody was hurt, and the building was unoccupied at the time of the fire.
Floyd County Sheriff Paul Raissez told KCBD-TV the structure is a total loss and arson has not been ruled out.
He said it appears the fire started on the south side of the building.
Some residents of the town of more than 1,800 watched as the crews battle the blaze, which broke out around 11 p.m. Sunday.
KCBD reported that several people managed to get computers, band instruments and documents out of the district’s junior high school, which is connected to the high school.
The junior high was also damaged.
A prayer service was held Monday morning outside the fire-ravaged high school, as administrators try to determine where classes will be held.
